Introducing Dapat Dispatch: Notes on designing the futures we deserve
Dispatched (more or less) monthly 💌
Welcome to Dapat Dispatch 💌
And hello from us at Dapat! You might be seeing this as a previous newsletter subscriber, as one of our partners, or even just as a visitor to our newly minted Substack.
In case you’re new here, we are Dapat, a Filipino design studio for social good that uses visual, strategic design to bring us closer to a more joyful, just, equitable world. Throughout our practice, we’ve learned so much about designing for impact and there’s so much we want to share about what we get to do. We just hope more and more people can learn about it and use their creativity for good, too. 🇵🇭
So we decided to create Dapat Dispatch, a space dedicated to notes, ideas, and stories about designing the futures we deserve. Here, we’ll talk about how design can be used for positive change, how it has been done before, and how to actually do it. Plus! Other thoughts and stories along the way. Dispatching (more or less) monthly, three columns not just about us, but about our community too 🤗

Experiencing how design transforms is a great privilege and we’re so excited to share this with you. Through Dapat Dispatch, we hope to show a kind of design that is nuanced and grounded in our culture, and determined to create what we deserve in whatever way possible.
❤️🔥,
Dapat
